The documentary series uses dashcams and video technology to show deputies on the job.

During the live show, host Dan Abrams and analyst Tom Morris, Jr. provide insight into what viewers are watching.

Lewis said he can’t give a firm yes or no as to whether the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office will be involved with the show in the future.

“I left it up to the deputies as to whether they wanted to do it in the beginning and they said yes. I will leave it up to them again if they want to join future seasons," Lewis said. “They just wanted a break after Season 1.”

Lewis said the show showed him how professional the Greenville County deputies are. He said the office got feedback from around the country about the professionalism of the deputies.

“I knew we had a very professional group here, but it was nice to learn that we had been such good representatives of our county to the entire nation,” Lewis said.

As for any downsides in participating in the show, Lewis said there weren’t many.

He said the deputies are used to patrolling alone and when the show was taping, there were three people in the car- two photographers and a producer.

“While the TV folks did a great job in working with our deputies, the deputy always has that inherent response to protect all people around them – including the crew,” Lewis said.

Lewis said some citizens were concerned about how Greenville might be portrayed, but he said more than 99 percent of the feedback was positive. He said the community needs to see the transparent side of what deputies do.

“You can sit with your family, eating popcorn on the safety of your couch, and at the same time ride along in a patrol car to see what it’s like for the deputies who keep you safe,” Lewis said.
